Gameplay Basics
Q: What is an extraction shooter?
A: An extraction shooter is a game where you enter a dangerous zone, collect loot, and must reach an extraction point to keep your rewards. If you die before extracting, you lose everything you collected in that raid.
Q: How do I control my character?
A: Use WASD to move, mouse to aim and look around, left-click to shoot, right-click to aim down sights, R to reload, E to interact/loot, Tab to open inventory, and Shift to sprint.
Q: What are the different maps?
A: There are 4 maps: Concrete Dam (industrial complex), Archer Valley (mountain outpost), Rocket Base (military facility), and Bazaar Old City (urban marketplace). Each has unique layouts, loot spots, and extraction points.
Q: How does permadeath work?
A: If you die during a raid, you lose all items you were carrying (weapons, loot, equipment). Items stored in your stash are safe. This creates high-stakes gameplay where every decision matters.
Combat & Weapons
Q: What weapons are available?
A: You can find pistols, SMGs, assault rifles, shotguns, sniper rifles, and melee weapons. Each weapon has different stats (damage, accuracy, fire rate, recoil). Better weapons are found in high-risk areas.
Q: How do I aim better?
A: Use right-click to aim down sights for better accuracy. Control recoil by pulling down slightly while firing. Crouch or go prone for increased stability. Practice in low-risk areas before tackling dangerous zones.
Q: What are AI enemies?
A: AI enemies (called "Scavs") patrol the maps. They have varying difficulty levels — some are easy to defeat, others are heavily armed and dangerous. They guard valuable loot and extraction points.
Loot & Extraction
Q: What kind of loot can I find?
A: You can find weapons, ammunition, medical supplies, armor, valuable items (gold, electronics, artifacts), and crafting materials. Rarer items are worth more and found in dangerous areas.
Q: How do I extract?
A: Each map has 2-3 extraction points marked on your map. Reach an extraction point and wait 10-15 seconds in the extraction zone. If you survive the timer, you successfully extract with all your loot.
Q: What happens to my loot after extraction?
A: Successfully extracted items go to your stash. You can use them in future raids, sell them for currency, or save them. Your stash is permanent storage that persists between raids.
Q: Can I insure my items?
A: Currently, there is no insurance system. If you die, you lose everything you were carrying. This is intentional to create tension and meaningful risk-reward decisions.
Strategy & Tips
Q: Should I go for high-value loot immediately?
A: Not recommended for beginners. High-value loot is in dangerous areas with tough AI enemies. Start with safer zones, learn the maps, practice combat, then gradually take on riskier areas.
Q: What's the best loadout for beginners?
A: Start with a pistol or SMG, basic armor, and medical supplies. Don't bring expensive gear until you're comfortable with the maps and combat. It's better to lose cheap gear while learning.
Q: How do I know when to extract?
A: Extract when you have valuable loot, are low on health/ammo, or the raid timer is running out. Don't get greedy — it's better to extract with some loot than die trying to get more.
Technical Issues
Q: The game is laggy or has low FPS. What can I do?
A: Close other browser tabs and applications. Lower your browser zoom to 100%. Make sure your graphics drivers are updated. The game requires a decent GPU for smooth 3D rendering.
Q: My controls aren't working properly.
A: Make sure the game window is focused (click on it). Check that your keyboard and mouse are working. Try refreshing the page. Some browser extensions can interfere with controls.
